A solemn review of Jameis Winston’s six opening-drive interceptions

Jameis Winston continued his trend of opening-drive interceptions on Saturday. What do these picks tell us about Winston’s NFL future?

Week 5 vs. Saints

This trend started against the Saints in Week 5, though this interception with 2:01 elapsed in the first quarter didn’t count due to a delay of game penalty. Here, the Bucs are trying to run a three-level flood concept to the left, but the execution is left wanting. The Saints are showing a Cover-0 presnap look with no deep safety, but both their safeties drop into deep coverage pre-snap. Winston doesn’t adapt to the look, and when he tries to hit Scotty Miller on the deep third of the flood, safety Marcus Williams runs the route much better than Miller does.
